Skip Ewing’s New Album: A Reflective Musical Experience

Skip Ewing, a natural-born storyteller with a talent for vivid songcraft and genuine human connection, rose to fame in the early 1990s with six top 20 hits, including the country classics “Burnin’ a Hole in My Heart” and “It’s You Again.” In addition to his solo success, he became one of Nashville’s most prolific songwriters, penning eleven No. 1 hits like Randy Travis’ “If I Didn’t Have You” and Clint Black’s NSAI Song of the Year “Something That We Do.” His songs have been recorded by stars such as ERNEST, Lainey Wilson (2024’s “Would If I Could”), Keith Urban, George Strait, Zac Brown Band, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, and Shania Twain, earning him numerous honors including a CMA Triple Play Award, BMI Songwriter of the Year, and multiple ACM, BMI, CMA, GRAMMY®, NSAI, and Songwriter Hall of Fame nominations. Seeking personal growth, Ewing stepped away from Nashville’s spotlight to embrace nature and horsemanship in Wyoming, working on a ranch near Yellowstone National Park. Rejuvenated, he returned to music, releasing acclaimed albums like 2020’s *Wyoming*, 2021’s *Christmas*, and 2024’s *Road to California*. His upcoming album, *DRAGONFLY*, draws from his life experiences and reflective outlook, featuring songs like the radio hit “I Want It All,” the romantic “Say Yes,” and “Stronger Where You’re Broken” with Mae Estes, an uplifting love song about resilience.
